Ascenseur Pour l'Echafaud is an album by Miles DAVIS . It was recorded at Le Poste Parisien Studio in Paris on December 4 and 5, 1957. The album features the musical cues for the 1958 Louis MALLE film Ascenseur Pour l'Echafaud.
Jean-Paul RAPPENEAU a jazz fan and MALLE's assistant at the time, suggested asking Miles DAVIS to create the film's soundtrack - possibly inspired by the Modern Jazz Quartet's recording for Roger VADIM's Sait-on jamais (Does One Ever Know), released a few months earlier in 1957.
DAVIS was booked to perform at the Club St-Germain in Paris for November 1957. RAPPENEAU introduced him to MALLE, and DAVIS agreed to record the music after attending a private screening. On December 4, he brought his four sidemen to the recording studio without having had them prepare anything. DAVIS only gave the musicians a few rudimentary harmonic sequences he had assembled in his hotel room, and, once the plot was explained, the band improvised without any precomposed theme, while edited loops of the musically relevant film sequences were projected in the background.
Played with Pierre MICHELOT -bass, René URTREGER -piano, Barney WILEN -tenor saxophone, Kenny CLARKE -drums, and Miles DAVIS -trumpet
